The buzzing is most likely caused by a bad ground or running the patch cables too close to the power wire. Also, turn your gain down.




everything is hooked up right, i have no idea why it wont work, only thing i can think of is maybe a bad power cable but it looks fine to me




Yes, but did you hook up a remote turn-on lead? You've made no mention of it when discussing your cables. The amp needs the following:

1 - unswitched power source from battery (your 8 GA cable)
2 - ground (GA should match power cable
3 - remote turn-on lead (switched power source from head unit, tells the amp when to turn on)
4 - signal (your patch cables)
5 - connection to speakers that are being amplified
